Went to put more forgiving street tires on the honda and noticed the right front was wiggling. Turned out the ball was breaking out of the a arm. Has me thinking if it broke on the highway of autoxing I would have rolled the car.

Both John and I had ball joints break at the same place, the pin that goes into the bottom of the strut snapped off right at the weak point indent where the lock "wedge pin" goes through the strut and holds the ball joint into the strut.
I would not put that pin in any tighter than just snugging up the nut. |
